Representing less than one-half of

temon rt r;i tr e against the proposed
paving of South Jackson Street,

city council Monday night, mid the
hid presented one week previously
by the Clark-Henery Construction
Company for doing the work was
accepted.
The two chief items of the bid are
Increases over the prices charged for
similar work in the city and for this
reason the council originally de
ferred action for a week to give the
affected property owners an oppor
tunity to express their wishes in the
matter. The remonstrnnce pre
sented Monday night represented a
minority sentiment, the signatories
owning an aggregate of i0 front
feet, out or a grand total of 2301)
less than one-half, whereas to have
been valid it should have shown at
least two-thirds of the grand total.
The remonstrance stirted that the
bid of the Clarke-Henery Company
was "exhorbttant" and that the com
pany would not agree to complete
the pavlug this year. The latter
statement is contradictory to the
company's hid, which specifies that
the work is to be completed by No
vember 1. UUl. The Items to which
the remonstrators objected were In
creases of 10 cents each in the prices
per square yard for paving and per
cubic yard for excavating, as com
pared with the bids lor work of the
s:Miie character done elsewhere in
the city. The company expluins that

City Kngineer Gerniond reported
adversely on the plan to pave the
roadway or the Deer Creek bridge, n
project which he estimated would

the pavement would add a weight
or SO tons to the bridge and tor this
reason he deemed It unwise to pro

adopted.
An estimate of $13,012 was sub
